ESP32 – quick overview

The ESP32 is a low cost, low power microcontroller with integrated 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi (up to 150Mbps) and dual-mode Bluetooth (classic and BLE), which employs a dual-core Tensilica Xtensa LX6 microprocessor. ESP32 is created and developed by Espressif Systems, a Shanghai-based Chinese company, and is manufactured by TSMC using their 40 nm process. It is a successor to the ESP8266 microcontroller.

I think that Espressif’s ESP32 is one of the most interesting microcontrollers on the market at the moment. This chip includes almost everything you’ll need to begin using and programming the WiFi/BT SoC and to create amazing IoT applications.
